Every car accident claim is unique. The types of damages you can recover will depend on the circumstances in your case. But one thing is consistent. You should never trust the insurance company to be honest with you about the types of damages that are available. If you have been seriously injured, talk to an experienced New York car accident attorney before signing anything or accepting any money from the insurance company. It could save you from signing away your right to full and fair compensation, and your initial consultation is free.
